SAFETY RULES FOR THE OPERATORS

10

BEWARE: The sprayers are machines where some parts arerotating at a very high speed, which, even if protected, are stillpotentially dangerous.

1. Pay careful attention to warning, danger, and marking signals that are bothcontained in this handbook and affixed on the machine.

2. Any time the machine needs to be serviced, the motor of the tractor mustbe off, the gear engaged, the hand brake pulled and the machine must befirmly parked on the ground.

3. Never touch parts while they are in motion. This could result in injury ordeath.

When in operation, the sprayer blows chemical products. Therefore, always makesure that no persons or animals are within the reach of the machine. When makingthis evaluation, consider also possible wind. Minimum distance between personsand working place: 100 mt. (300 ft.). Never work when persons are ina reas at risk.

The machine must be used by one person only who must operate it from thetractor's driver seat. Nobody else is necessary, therefore no other persons mustapproach the dangerous area. Minimum distance from the machine while in opera-tion is 100 mt. (300 ft.).

SAFETY RULES FOR THE OPERATOR

11

Should someone come too close to the machine, then immediately stop any operationyou are carrying out and warn these persons with acoustic and light signals until theyleave the dangerous area, where they could be contaminated by chemicals, overrun bythe tractor or be injured by machine mechanisms. Risks due to parts that are in motionand from sudden change of the wind's direction could be unavoidable.

Never wear loose clothes with free ends (such as belts, scarves, heads-squares, longskirts, etc.) that could drag you towards the machine parts while they are in motion.

The operator should keep all shields, of which the machine is equipped, in steadyand sound conditions. After any service or repair, all the shields must be put in theoriginal place.Before stopping and/or starting the engine of the tractor be sure that:

••••• The PTO must be disconnected••••• The attached implement is firm on horizontal ground••••• The hand brake is pulled

The recommended position to use the lifting system of the tractors is only from thetractor's seat.

WARNING: It is strictly forbidden to stay between the tractor andthe machine when the engine is on. This can result in injury ordeath.

When replacing any worn out pieces or during any other operation on the machine(which must be carried out by skilled technicians) please proceed as follows:

••••• Make sure the engine is stopped, hand brake pulled and PTO disengaged••••• In case of the need of servicing the machine from underneath, make sure

that this would rest safely on proper supports, in order to prevent anyaccidental fall which would seriously injure someone.

••••• Every intervention must be carried out on a clean horizontal floor.

Should the machine accidentally bump into an obstacle, then proceed as follows:••••• Stop the machine immediately and follow all the above mentioned safety

instructions.••••• Check the machine carefully, to be sure there are no damages. In the case

DELIVERY OF THE MACHINE

13

The machine must be checked immediately upon delivery toensure that it is complete with all its components; should thisnot be the case, the manufacturer and/or its representative mustbe notified at once.

The sprayer is normally supplied either wrapped with nylon or packed in a cartonand all the components are appropriately protected for shipment. In order to savespace and reducing risks of damages during transportation, some parts may besupplied loose and need to be reassembled before using the machine. In this casefollow these instructions:

••••• Mount the pressure regulator on it's support••••• Mount the delivery and bypass hoses••••• Check that all the hoses are tight••••• Connect the hoses of the nozzles and of the handgun (if supplied)

Run the sprayer, for the first time, with fresh water, to check that everythingoperates properly.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

1. Inspect for loose or missing parts and possible damages.

2. Make sure all fittings and drive components are secure.

3. Lubricate the parts that need to be lubricated. (See lubrication section for details)

4. Check tank for any foreign objects.

MACHINE COMPONENTS

14

PUMP -

The diaphragm pump puts the liquid under pressure and is the hearth of the sprayer- it needs therefore particular attention.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE MANUAL PROVIDED WITH THEPUMP.

TANK -

The tank of the sprayer can be made either of fiberglass, polyethylene or stainlesssteel. Inside the tank there is an agitation system studied in order to keep the chemi-cal uniformly and constantly mixed with the water, this during the spraying opera-tions The agitation system can be either mechanical or jet (sometimes both together).

It is important to have the agitation system in good working conditions at all times,not only for the best job with the crops, but also because some chemicals can bedangerous if not mixed properly. Before using any chemical, please read and care-fully follow the directions printed on its container.

DRAINAGE OF THE LIQUID OF THE TANK -

It is very important to learn how and where to drain the residue liquid of the tank. Allthe tanks are provided with a drain valve with a lever. Even if the valve is designed ina way that the liquid would not touch the hands or clothes of the operator, this hasalways to be opened with care. To avoid pollution, never drain the residue chemicalson the ground, but use instead appropriate reservoirs or drain ducts.

Page 18: AIR BLAST TRAILER MOUNTED SPRAYERS - Gearmore · TRAILER MOUNTED SPRAYERS Operation / Service / Parts Manual For Models ATSS1200, 1500, & 2000 (300, 400, & 500 Gallon) February 2005

MACHINE COMPONENTS

15

PROPELLER -

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THEPROPELLER, BE SURE THAT THE MOTOR OF THE TRAC-TOR IS OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION OF THE PROPEL-

LER IS DISCONNECTED. NEVER REMOVE THE SHIELDS OF THEPROPELLER WHEN THE TRACTOR IS RUNNING AND THE PTO CANBE ENGAGED.

The purpose of the propeller is to produce the volume of air necessary to atomizethe droplets of liquid sprayed by the nozzles. The result is a sort of fog that pen-etrates the foliage of the plants and performs the requested treatment.

The blades can be mounted with a different angle. The wider the angle, the morevolume of air produced, however, on the other hand, there will be more absorptionof power from the tractor.

In order to change the angle of the blades (ref. 2) of the propeller (ref. 3) you needspecial inserts (ref. 1) that you can obtain from the manufacturer or the dealer.

NEVER USE, ON THE SAME PROPELLER, INSERTS HAVING A DIF-FERENT ANGLE, AS THIS COULD CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THEMACHINE.

After placing the inserts, mount all the shields in their original position, before run-ning the motor.

MACHINE COMPONENTS

16

HANDGUN -

The machine can be provided with a handgun (various models are available). The nozzlesof the handguns can have different shapes and diameter of the holes, according to thejob that needs to be done.

The chart provided herewith shows different tips according to the pressure used. Thetips and the nozzles, either the ceramic or steel ones, wear out and need to be replaced.Replace when you notice that the delivery has increased or the spray pattern is notuniform.

FILTERS -

The sprayer is equipped with 3 filtering systems:1. A basket filter is located under the main cover, the purpose of which is

to prevent any impurity or foreign objects getting into the tank during theoperation of filling it with water.

2. A main strainer is located under the tank, connected to the inlet system. Theliquid is filtered before getting into the pump, which therefore will work withno risk of damages. This filter is provided with a valve that prevents the returnof the liquid and that allows the maintenance of the cartridge also when thetank is full.

3. Each nozzle is provided with one or more filters.All the filters are easily accessible and easy to clean.

NOZZLES -

The machine is equipped with nozzles which can be either single or double and whichcan be adjusted to different angles of spray. By turning the nozzle 90o it shuts off. Thedouble nozzles can spray dilute or concentrate, according to the hole of the top mountedon each side. For the nozzles there are available many types of ceramic tips with differ-ent holes, according to the job to be done. Tips wear out and, after a certain time, needto be replaced when the delivery starts to be too much or the spray is no longer uni-form. Inside the nozzle there is a filter and an anti-drip valve. It is recommended toclean frequently the nozzles, filters, and anti-drip valves to prevent clogging.

CONNECTION TO TRACTOR

17

The attachment of the machine to the tractor is a dangerous operation.

It is recommended that such operation be carried out strictly complying with the fol-lowing instructions and paying careful attention.

••••• BEWARE: In order to attach or set the machine, any operations must becarried out with the machine laid flat, tractor on standstill, engine off, parkingbrake set, and low gear inserted. Only the machine operator and the technicalstaff authorized by the dealer can be there.

••••• When working on the machine make sure nobody else is coming too close.••••• Make sure the tractor power is appropriate for the machine before attaching.••••• Never use tractors whose power exceeds that foreseen for the machine, as this

has been tested with such power, exceeding which all machine members couldsuffer serious damages that are not covered by the guarantee.

••••• Make sure that the pull capacity of the tractor, as well as its weight, aresufficient to draw the machine when fully loaded with liquid and ready to work.For these important safety instructions, please refer to the owner's manualof the tractor.

••••• Consider that the towed sprayer is not provided with brakes and that particularcare has to be taken when driving downhill as well as making sharp turns. Inthese cases the speed of the tractor has to be the lowest possible.

••••• Make sure that the tractor's draw hitch is provided with its original pin and thatthis fits perfectly into the hole of the drawbar of the sprayer. Make sure also,that the pin is provided with a locking system to prevent possible disconnec-tion of the machine from the tractor while it is operated or driven.

••••• Make sure that the weight of the machine on the hitch of the tractorwould not exceed the one shown on the label on the drawbar of the sprayer.

••••• Be sure to replace the stand leg before towing the machine with the tractor.

1. On pull type machines, it is very important to determine the right length of thedriveshaft for a good performance, as well as for avoiding damages.

2. Check that the input shaft of the tractor would have the same size, type andnumber of splines as the yoke of the driveshaft on the tractor size.

3. Check if the RPM of the tractor's PTO are the same as for the machine to beattached (normally 540 RPM).

4. Check if the tractor's PTO rotates clockwise (please lookat it from behind).

5. Use only the driveshaft supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.6. When mounting the driveshaft to the input shaft of the machine, pay attention if

there is any mark showing the tractor side and machine side (for example anylimiting device normally has to be mounted on the side of the machine).

7. Drive the tractor close to the machine that has to be parked on flat ground, withthe stand leg firmly locked and the wheels stopped with wedges.

8. Check that the drawbar of the tractor and the hook of the machineare on the same level. If necessary act on the handle of the stand legto reach the same level.

9. Drive the tractor in reverse until the drawbar of the sprayer and the hitch of thetractor match up.

10. Switch the motor off, pull the hand brake and leave a low gear engaged.11. Insert the pin of the hitch into the hole of the drawbar and lock it.12. Once the machine is attached to the tractor, start it and drive the train into a sharp

angle (without the driveshaft).

13. Measure the distance between the groove of thePTO of the tractor and the groove of the PTOof the pump.

14. This distance, less 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in.), is the length of the driveshaft you have touse (a longer shaft, when taking a sharp angle, would push onto the two PTO's and,very likely, cause damage).

15. Adjust the hitch point so that the input shaft of thetractor and the one of the machine will be exactlyparallel and horizontal with the ground. This will granta good performance and a long life of the cardan shaft.

16. Connect the driveshaft to the input shaftof the tractor, double-checking again thata minimum distance of 5 to 10 cm (2 to4 in.) is allowed to the completely closedposition of the driveshaft.

17. Be sure that the driveshaft would work at an angle not exceeding 10o as this couldcause damages to the shaft and to the PTO's of the tractor and the pump.

18. In its longest position the two halves of the telescoping tubes of the shaft mustoverlap at least 1/3 of their length. In case the driveshaft is too short, get a new oneof the same type approved by the manufacturer from an authorized dealer.

19. In the event that it is necessary to shorten the cardan shaft, make sure this operationis performed by skilled personnel. At the end of this operation be sure that all safetyshields have been reinstalled in the original position.

20. When cutting shafts, proper equipment must be used to keep rotating parts coaxialand yokes in their original angle position.

21. Before starting the tractor, be sure that the chains, of which the shaft is provided,have been locked to prevent the shield from rotating.

22. Before starting the tractor, be sure that the PTO is in neutral position; then it will bepossible to start the motor, disengage the hand brake, engage a low gear and startslowly.

23. FOR OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THEDRIVESHAFT, PLEASE SEE THE MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH ITBY THE SHAFT'S MANUFACTURER.BEWARE: Incorrect use of the driveshaft may cause damages to it. Such damagesare excluded from warranty, even if within the warranty period. The misuse and/orabuse to the driveshaft can cause damages to the tractor, to the machine or injuriesto people.

24. In case the sprayer would be provided with steering hitch attached to thelifting arms of the tractor, be sure to tighten the chains in order to avoid sideswinging.

THE SPRAYER IS A MACHINE THAT CAN BE OPERATEDONLY BY SKILLED PEOPLE AS IT IS POTENTIALLY DAN-GEROUS BOTH FOR THE OPERATOR AND FOR THE EN-VIRONMENT IN THE CASE SOME SPECIFIC RULESWOULD NOT BE RESPECTED.

CHECK AND CLEAN THE FILTER -

Close the valve (ref. 1) that is placed between the tank and the filter, unscrew thelock ring of the filter (ref. 3) and clean the cartridge (ref. 4). In the case the cartridgewould be damaged or worn out, replace it with one of exactly the same type.

After having replaced the cartridge and the cap in its position, it is possible to openthe valve of the filter to allow the suction from the tank.

OPERATION OF MACHINE

22

CHOOSE THE SPEED OF THE PROPELLER -

If the sprayer is provided with dual speed multiplier, it is possible to choose the speedby acting on the lever.

Choose the position of the lever that engages the propeller. The motor of the tractormust be off and the PTO disengaged when performing this operation.

Once chosen the position of the lever, thePTO needs to be engaged at the lowest RPMof the motor and then slowly it will benecessary to accelerate so to reach 540 RPM.

AGITATOR -

Before starting to spray, it is important that the agitator (either mechanic or hydraulic)would operate for some minutes in order to have a uniform mix in the tank.

ADJUST THE WORKING PRESSURE -

To adjust the pressure of the pump look at the gauge mounted on the regulator of thesprayer. Choose the pressure following the charts provided with the chemical andaccording to the quantity of product you plan to spray.

It is important that every adjustment of the pressure be made by turning the valvevery slowly. In fact too quick changes of pressure could damage the components ofthe machine such as pump, valves, hoses, etc.

Position 0 The propeller is in neutral for a possible use of the handgun

Position 1 The propeller will rotate at lower speed (for when not much airis necessary).

Position 2 The propeller will rotate at the highest speed and create morevolume of air.

OPERATION OF MACHINE

23

During the work it may be necessary to re-adjust the pressure, as some tractors maynot maintain the same power at all times. Note: The pressure varies according to the tipsmounted on the nozzles.

The regulator valve is designed to adjust the pressure ofthe spray and to allow the excess of liquid to return intothe tank.

NOTE: The manual provided by the manufacturer ofthe pump also provides information on how to operatethe regulator valve.

USE OF NOZZLES & MANIFOLDS -

The nozzles are mounted on the LH and RH manifold. They can be operated sepa-rately by acting on two levers mounted on the regulator. The use of one only mani-fold may be necessary when it is needed to treat one side only, for example theexternal rows.

USE OF HANDGUN -

In order to use the handgun, it is necessary to disen-gage the propeller and to connect the hose of the gunon the fitting that is on the pressure regulator. Shouldyou not have connectors available on the regulator, you may use the one of whichthe pump is normally provided or you may disconnect one of the manifold. Beforeconnecting the handgun, be sure that the fittings, the hose and the gun are designedfor the maximum pressure supplied by the pump.

Periodically check the handgun, hose and connectors and replace immediately anydefective parts (cracks, leaks, etc.). This is very important for the safety of the opera-tor and the environment. It is absolutely forbidden to use hoses fixed with straps asthey could easily blow out. Use only hoses with self-locking or threaded connectors.The lack of respecting these rules could cause severe damages and/or injury. Beforestarting any work, it is advisable to test the unit with clean water, in order to get usedto it and to the handgun and for making the fine-tuning.

USE OF PUMP

28

••••• The pump is built only for liquids foreseen for agricultural use. Running it withany other liquid may damage it as well as other parts of the sprayer. Please refer tothe pump manual for more information.

••••• Never exceed the maximum pressure recommended for the pump.••••• The temperature of the liquid has to be between 10 and 30 centigrade (44o to 86o

Fahrenheit).••••• Before performing any service to the sprayer or to the pump, be sure to discharge

all the pressure by opening the main valve so that the liquid will by-pass to thetank.

••••• Verify that the liquid runs fluently through the by-pass hose.••••• Any part to be replaced such as hoses, valves, connectors, etc. that are subject to

pressure, must be original or of the type approved by the manufacturer.••••• Never use the pump of the sprayer for running water for human or animal use.

MAINTENANCE OF THE PUMP -

••••• The pump has been tested before leaving production and therefore it is ready towork.

••••• Before performing any operation with the pump, check that all the hoses are tightand that the pump itself is firmly bolted on the frame of the sprayer.

••••• Before starting to work, it is advisable to check the oil level. The oil level needs tobe verified daily, or more frequently if the sprayer would be working in heavyconditions.

••••• The oil reservoir has never to be completely full. The oil level has to be about atthe middle of the check glass.

••••• The oil to be used is of the type anti-foam SAE 20 W 40.••••• The oil of the pump needs to be replaced at the end of every season or at least

every 500 hours of work.••••• Some pumps are provided with an accumulator to control the pressure, in order to

avoid vibrations and pulsation. The pressure of the accumulator has to be checkedperiodically with a gauge. The correct pressure setting of the accumulator is shownin the pump manual and, as reference, it has to be the 10% of the pressure used forworking.

••••• For any more information about the pump, read and understand the pump manual.

DIAPHRAGM & VALVE REPLACEMENT

29

1. VALVE AND O-RING REPLACEMENT -

••••• The constant work and, occasionally, debris can cause the valves tonot seal properly, or damage the o-ring. To check for this problem,follow these steps:a) Remove the pump manifold (see parts list for your model)b) With manifold removed, valves can easily be removed and

checked for debris or wear.

••••• To replace valves or o-rings, refer to parts list for appropriate kits.

2. DIAPHRAGM REPLACEMENT

••••• Drain the oil from the pump by removing drain plug. Rotate theshaft to remove excess oil. Lock back the drain plug.

••••• Remove the pump manifold as per instruction above in section 1(valve and o-ring replacement).

••••• Remove pump heads to expose the diaphragms.••••• Use a 13 mm box wrench to remove the diaphragm retaining bolt,

support washer and diaphragm.••••• To replace diaphragms order appropriate repair kit. (See parts list)••••• Turn the crankshfat to bring the piston to its down stroke and seat

the new diaphragm into the sleeve groove. Install retaining washerand tighten nut.

••••• Re-fill crankcase with anti-foam SAE 20 W 40 oil. Rotate the shaft todistribute oil and fill to proper level.

••••• Check the level of the oil that has to be on the middle of the glass(double check after short time of first run).

CHEMICAL PREPARATION

30

WARNING: Keep the products in ventilated premises, with adoor provided with a lock, inaccessible both to children and tounauthorized persons. Place warning notices on the outside in-dicating the danger zone.

Before preparing the mixture to be sprayed:

1. Calculate the exact amount of the chemical product needed for the area tobe treated, so as to be able to prepare the exact quantity of product. The chemicalproducts must be kept in their original package, supplied with their own labels.2. Ensure that the machine has been correctly set up and calibrated.3. Carefully read the instructions concerning:

••••• The use of the chemical product to be applied, especially as regardsto the conditions of use and the correct preparation of the dose asshown on the package.

••••• Operation of the sprayer.••••• WARNING: When mixing the chemical products it is always

necessary to check that they are physically, chemically, andbiologically compatible with one another.

4. During preparation of the mixture, ensure that there are no children,unauthorized persons, or animals in the vicinity, or anyone without suitableprotection. Always wear protective clothing; gloves, goggles, dust proof maskor helmets, overall working clothes, and boot resistant to the chemicals. Donot eat, drink or smoke.

5. After preparing the mixture, carefully wash your hand and face.6. As soon as package that contained chemicals products have been emptied,

they must be washed and rinsed with clean water; the waste water must bepoured into the distribution tank (tank for chemicals).

7. The empty packages must be kept inside the premises used for storingchemical products until they can be handed over to an authorized collectionservice.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

31

The sprayer is a machine that has some components running as a very high speedthat may accelerate damages if the following important points would not be re-spected:

NEVER run the sprayer without having first checked that all shieldsare in place.

BEFORE starting to work, verify if all the lubrications have beenmade according to the instructions.

Daily check tightness of all bolts and nuts.

Daily check for any leaks, and repair promptly if necessary.

Daily check the tension of drive belts.

Daily, or at the end of the treatment, rinse the hydraulic circuit of thesprayer with clean water to avoid sediments which could damage thepump, the valves, etc.

Any of the above operations have to be performed only with the motor of thetractor off, a low gear engaged and the parking brake set.

WARNING: In order to grant a long life to the sprayer, it isimportant to give particular care to the maintenance.

Page 35: AIR BLAST TRAILER MOUNTED SPRAYERS - Gearmore · TRAILER MOUNTED SPRAYERS Operation / Service / Parts Manual For Models ATSS1200, 1500, & 2000 (300, 400, & 500 Gallon) February 2005

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

32

Since the sprayer is always in contact with chemical products, BE SURE TOALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE GLOVES, PROTECTIVE CLOTHINGAND GOGGLES to avoid burns or injuries when doing any work on themachine.

After any treatment has been completed, the sprayer has to appropriatelywashed and rinsed inside. When doing this operation, be sure of notpolluting the environment with the water used for washing.

The tank needs to be rinsed inside also when it is necessary to change thetype of chemical to be sprayed.

At the end of the working season, the machine has to be cleaned through-out and every part has to be checked accurately to verify the need of anyrepair or maintenance

In areas where the winter may be cold, be sure that all the parts of thesprayer are completely dry to prevent the risk that ice could damage somecomponents, particularly the pump and the valves. To dry out the hoses,blow air with a compressor until all the liquid has evaporated. It may beadvisable to run some anti-freeze in the pump and then drain it out.

At the end of the working season, thoroughly inspect the machine andmake all the necessary repairs and maintenance operations.

At the beginning of the new season, double check again the need for anyrepairs, particularly if everything is tight and there are no leaks. Verify thatthe hoses are in good sound condition. Should you note cracks, replaceimmediately the hoses with new ones, to prevent the risk of possible blowup when the sprayer will go under pressure.

All the tests at the beginning of the season have to be carried out with clearwater.

LUBRICATION

33

DRIVESHAFT -

Even if the driveshaft is lubricated at the time when it is manufactured, it isadvisable to grease it again before use. The parts that need to be greased are thespiders and the telescoping tubing.The spiders need to be greased every 8 hours of working and before a longperiod of inactivity as well as after, because the grease could have dried out.Particularly when the machines are used in dusty areas, it may be necessary toclean and grease again frequently the telescoping tubing to prevent excessivewear.The use of some chemicals may also require a particular attention to thelubrication of the driveshaft as the grease could be degraded.For any other information about the driveshaft, please refer to the manualsupplied with it.The grease used for lubricating the driveshaft is NLH1 Grade 2.

TRANSMISSION -

The gearbox that engages and disengages the propeller contains oil of the typeSAE 90 EP. This oil needs to be changed possibly at the end of every season or, atleast every 500 hours of work. The quantity of oil to be used depends on the modelof the gearbox. It is therefore necessary to check the oil level on the eye on the sideof the gearbox.

MECHANICAL AGITATOR -

If the sprayer is provided with the mechanical agitator, it is necessary to lubricate every8 hours, the brass nut which holds the stainless steel shaft of the agitator. The brass nutcontains a special gasket that prevents leaks along the shaft that needs to be greasedperiodically. When there is a leak also after the lubrication has been performed, tightenthe brass nut slowly. If leak will continue, this means that the gasket needs to be re-place. For lubricating use grease NLG1 Grade 2.

ROAD SAFETY

34

Before driving on the road the tractor with the sprayer, as a first thing make surethere are no leaks of liquid.

The operator must also ensure that the Rules of the Road in force are compliedwith, such as but not limited to:

Total length of the convoy

Overall width

Axle load

Lifting and/or pulling capacity in the point where the machine isconnected to the tractor

Rear lights and refractive signals

Brake efficiency

Whatever else the "Rules of the Road" provide for

It is strictly forbidden to transport persons, animals or goods on themachine. Operators that are not of age, without driving license,unskilled and not in good physical or mental health conditions,cannot use the sprayer.

Bear in mind that a trailed machine, because of its weight, can heavily influence thedrive of the tractor. The efficiency of the brakes and the stability of the convoycan become less safe when the tractor is taking a turn. Turns have to be taken withcare and at slow speed to avoid the risk of rolling over.

Agricultural implements are conceived for use int he country-side and when they are driven on public roads it is necessaryto meet with the rules in force.

TRANSPORT

35

Check if the vehicle's capacity is adequate to the weight of the machine, which isindicated on the serial number plate riveted on to the frame of the sprayer.

WARNING: The weight indicated on the serial number plate refersto the machine at full load with the liquid. To calculate the weight ofthe machine with empty tank, subtract the corresponding weight ofthe liquid.

Also, when transported for a short distance, it is recommended always to emptythe tank and be sure that there are no leaks dangerous both for persons and theenvironment.

Adequately fasten the machine and detached parts. Load the sprayer always hori-zontal (in working position) to avoid leaks from the pump, tank, etc. Be careful tofirmly attach the machine on the vehicle to avoid unnecessary and/or dangerousmovements during the transit. Check all the parts that may get loose and tightenthem accordingly.

When loading the sprayer on the truck, trailer, or other, make particular attentionto the marked lifting points. Lifting the sprayer by hitching other points couldcreate damages.

Make sure to respect the limits of weight and overall dimensions foreseen by therules of road circulation.
